The idea that people buy consoles, toys and games is a bit depressing and just needlessly commercial tbh, and I'm with you on the objecting to the whole "post a picture of all of the presents on Facebook to one - up your friends" thing.

I completely agree too.

My belief is that Easter and Christmas both have religious foundations,but over the years greedy,materialistic people have hijacked it and made them festivals of greed, They don't believe in the foundation of a celebration but will still indulge.It seems most people just believe in me,myself and I.

That's not true

agreed. I blame us all for allowing ourselves to become so pathetically materialistic and worse still allowing our kids to become even worse. school proms and pageants for little kids dressed up as Barbie dolls, we see the feminists preach about how men objectivise women, but its actually women and mothers who are allowing their kids to go down this rocky path and become objectivised and appearance obsessed. if I met one woman wearing jumper or cardigan out on a Saturday night id ask her out regardless of height weight wealth or appearance...just the fact shes being an individual and not pretending to be an individual
